Chapter 3 The Beggars Who Sell Their Daughters

"Help me, I can be your slave, don't leave me, then I will die in the night." The people on the ground prayed to Zhang Zhen in pain.

To save or not to save? Zhang Zhen is doing ideological struggle, he is not familiar with anything here, but he still understands the golden rule that the last days must affirm the sinister human heart.

After hesitating, he didn't rush to deal with the man, but squatted next to the corpses of the three thugs, and when he installed the safety device, something flew out of the broken bag that the thugs were carrying, which caught his attention.

A piece of wood flew on the ground when he was making a mace in front of him, and now there was a small box on the bike that didn't look good but had five indicators that were now glowing green, and something that looked like a gauge flying out of the gangster's bag.

The materials needed to upgrade the vehicle will be automatically searched and obtained nearby, which is explained after Zhang Zhen opened the system, and he also knows that if he can't find the required materials, he will not be able to upgrade for the time being, so it is necessary to search for the bag of this villain, and maybe there is something that can be used in the future.

He tore the bag from the thug, a bag made of unknown animal skins with a bottom sewn together from rags, and the bag itself emitted a foul stench, which smelled even worse when lifted to the ground.

The contents can only be described as garbage, all of them are unrecognizable broken copper and iron, and a few bones with residual blood, which have endured the smell and turned over to nothing.

Glancing at the man who was still begging for help, Zhang Zhen had no choice but to look for the key on the villain with kindness, and he didn't understand that after opening the chains, he went his own way.

When I took the key, I found that there was a leather bag tied next to it, and I felt very heavy after taking it off, and when I opened the bag, I saw that the whole person's eyes were bright, and it was full of a bag of golden beans, about hundreds of grams.

"I'm rich, it's worth at least a hundred thousand, it's quite heavy." Zhang was shocked and happily flipped through the golden beans inside with his fingers, and sure enough, they were all round gold beads of the same size.

"That's the gopher gang's ammunition for hunting gold guns, and their homemade weapons are all made with gold beans as ammunition." The people on the ground saw that Zhang Zhen had found the key and ignited hope, and hurriedly explained.

"Ammunition?" Zhang Zhen picked up the gun that fell to the ground, this gun was a bit like a short-barreled shotgun, but there was a metal ball on the gun, and he moved the ball with his hand to lift a lid, and it was indeed full of golden beans.

"It's extravagant, he even uses gold as ammunition, and he also mixes his horses like beggars." Zhang Zhen couldn't help muttering.

"Adults save me, my Hu Hai's life will be an adult's in the future, adults can do whatever they want, please save me." The man on the ground sat up hard, and saw that Zhang Zhen was not in a hurry to save him, and he was begging again.

Zhang Zhen hung the mace back in the car, walked over with the gun and key, and said, "Who are you?" Why are they locked up? ”

Hu Hai hurriedly said: "I am just a beggar, living in the cave in front, but the gopher gang found me, so they arrested me and wanted to sell me." ”

"Beggars? You're alone? Zhang Zhen was alert, in this wilderness, there are zombies, how can they live alone.

"Yes......" Hu Hai hesitated and said: "It's not a secret, I depend on my daughter for my life, I was arrested when I was looking for food outside, they wanted to torture me and ask where I lived, but I didn't expect to find an adult, so I came over." ”

"Then why did you tell me about your daughter?" Zhang Zhen looked at Hu Hai with cold eyes, no matter what this guy said was true or not, he must have an attempt.

"I ......" Hu Hai sighed and said: "Now that survival is getting more and more difficult, I can't protect Shelley, I want to sell her to adults, adults ......"

"Sell me?!" Zhang Zhen was a little shocked.

"My lord, I can't help it, adults have great skills, it's better for Shelley to follow adults than to follow me who will starve to death or be ravaged by the gopher gang one day, just ask the adults to let Shelley live." Hu Hai hurriedly pleaded.

Zhang Zhen felt that what this person said was not a lie, he was really begging him, shook his head and helped him untie the chains and said, "You go." ”

"Your Excellency!" Hu Hai saw that Zhang Zhen was about to ride away and stood up with great difficulty: "My lord, it's getting dark, it's too late for you to think of the nearby town, it's too dangerous to have no hiding place after dark, even if the adult refuses to buy Shelley, let me repay the adult's life-saving grace, my house is nearby, and I can spend the night safely." ”

Zhang Zhen looked at the sky and was also worried, it was indeed going to be dark soon, but he had no place to spend the night now, it was really unsafe to spend the night in this strange and dangerous wasteland.

"Lead the way." Zhang Zhen decided to boldly write back to this Hu Hai, this guy looks weak and defenseless, and he has an extra gun now, so he should be able to deal with it in case of danger.

Hu Hai showed a hint of joy on his face, and hurriedly picked a dead tree pole from the ground and walked towards the wasteland.

Zhang Zhen pushed the bike and followed, the gun was always in his hand, the wasteland was full of unknown dead grass, the ground didn't feel too soft to step on, but the weeds and various potholes were still not suitable for cycling, unless the bike could be upgraded as a whole, so that it could be ridden in this harsh sandy area.

After walking for about ten minutes, an inconspicuous hill appeared under the clouds in front of him, and Hu Hai pointed excitedly: "It's there, and I'll be there soon." ”

Zhang Zhen suspects that the mountain bag can live in people, it looks like it is only about ten meters high, and the size is not as big as a football field, if there are really villains to find, how can they hide, I'm afraid the zombies can't prevent it.

When he got closer, he found that this mountain bag was unusual, the whole mountain seemed to have suffered a great disaster, and it looked like a monster full of thorns in the night, showing its teeth and claws, and it was impossible to see where people could live.

Hu Hai came to the front of the mountain and led the way excitedly, climbed up the mountain hard, walked around the strange mountain with no features, pointed to a place like a stone forest and said, "Enter from here." ”

Zhang Zhen came to find that it was like a labyrinth, with various earthen pillars scattered as if they had been cut by a knife, and there was no road or place to live in sight.

Hu Hai took the lead and walked inside: "With this place, we can hide and live in peace for several years, and outsiders can't find the hole inside without blowing up here, and zombies can't get in when they come." ”

Zhang Zhen didn't want to continue, but it was almost dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, so he could only grit his teeth and follow, and the bicycle had to be carried a lot of times to move forward.

After going around for two minutes, Hu Hai didn't make any abnormal movements, took down a glass plate-like thing from a soil pillar, bypassed a large pillar and dragged a dirt hole through which the two of them passed: "It's inside, you see, it's very hidden." ”

Zhang Zhen nodded, holding the gun tightly in his hand, thinking about whether to use a hundred points to install a headlight, in case Hu Hai plotted to misbehave, it would be bad if there was no light.

However, it didn't go far before the inside lit up, and Hu Hai got a lamp from somewhere, and as soon as he sucked the board, the lamp turned on, illuminating the environment inside.

The passage was not long, and after walking a few steps, he entered a cave, which was originally dark, and it only lit up after Hu Hai came in.

"Daddy."

Zhang Zhen noticed that there was a dirt bed in the cave, on which a girl was sitting with her legs crossed, and saw Hu Hai excitedly pounce on it.

"Shelley, Daddy is back." Hu Hai also hugged his daughter excitedly.

"Daddy." Shelley was about to ask Hu Hai why he came back so late, when he suddenly found a stranger standing behind him, and hurriedly said nervously: "Who is he?" ”

Hu Hai smiled: "Don't be afraid, he is my savior, call me an adult." ”

"Thank you, sir." Shelley hurriedly clasped his hands, and nodded at Zhang Zhen a little timidly.

My lord? Zhang Zhen had been hearing Hu Hai call him like this, thinking that it should be an honorific title for others in the last days, so he didn't care too much, and nodded with a smile.

Hu Hai hurriedly shook off the blanket on the earthen bed, and then beckoned Zhang Zhen to sit down, and he squatted on the lamp again, and after a while, the light became brighter, and the whole cave was bright, and everything was clearly visible.

However, there was nothing to see, there were two broken blankets on the bed, and there was something that looked like an induction cooker thrown in the corner, but he doubted whether it could be used, and the only thing that made Zhang Zhen curious was that there was an electrical appliance that looked like a computer on the side, but it was small, like a small glass helmet.

"I'm really sorry, my lord, we haven't had food for a long time, and we can't provide food to adults." Hu Hai said apologetically, rubbing his hands nervously.

Zhang Zhen saw that there was another door inside, and looked inside to see that it was a small earthen cave, and there was a dirt bed inside, the blanket on it was slightly more complete, and there was a small metal cabinet at the head of the bed, on which was placed a mirror, and a small flashing lamp like a tape recorder.

"That's Shelley's quarters, and if you get tired, go inside and rest, snow...... Shelley can ......" Hu Hai said nervously, and it could be seen that he didn't want to do this.

Zhang Zhen waved his hand to interrupt, took the shopping bag from the car, came to the bed and went out to get something and said, "I have some food here." ”

This place does not look like a place where people live at all, and it feels like the beggars in the city will not be so dilapidated, not even a small pot can be seen.

Zhang Zhen didn't know what was in the bag, he just wanted to go to work when his brain was hot, and he didn't look at it seriously, so he found that it was quite rich.

There was a bottle of mineral water, a large bag of bread, two buckets of eight-treasure porridge, a bag of beef jerky, and a bunch of snacks in small bags.

When he took out the water, Hu Hai's eyes widened, he had never seen such clear water.

When the bread and beef jerky were taken out, the whole person's eyes would not blink, Shelley swallowed even more violently, and the father and daughter stared straight at the food.

Zhang Zhen grabbed a small snack and put it on the bed, and the eight-treasure porridge and the remaining few small breads did not continue to take out.

"Bring your plates."

Hu Hai hurriedly went over to get it when he heard this, but Shelley couldn't stop swallowing his saliva with his eyes fixed on the food, as if he couldn't hear or see anything outside the food.

Zhang Zhen tore open the bread first, took a piece of it himself, put the other half into the plate, tore open the dried beef and poured half of it into the plate, and left half of it in the bag.

He unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip, eating the bread, and seeing that the father and daughter were staring at the plate but did not dare to move, he smiled and said, "Eat, for you." ”

"Thank you, thank you, sir." Hu Hai hurriedly touched his daughter, who only dared to look at him and didn't dare to move, and said, "Shelley, eat quickly, the adults rewarded us." ”

As soon as Shelley heard this, he immediately grabbed the beef jerky with both hands, grabbed a few slices with one hand and stuffed them into his mouth, biting the whole person and suddenly let out a sound of joy and satisfaction.

Hu Hai carefully picked up a piece of beef jerky and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "My lord, my lord, is this pure beef?" ”

Zhang Zhen looked at Shelley's gobbling up like he hadn't eaten for three years, nodded with a shocked face: "Pure green and pollution-free." ”

"Oh my God, I can't imagine that I can still eat real beef in my life, and the last time I ate it was probably thirty years ago." Hu Hai said excitedly, and when he reached out to take the meat on the plate, he saw his daughter chewing it in a big mouthful, holding it in her hand, looking at it with her eyes, and finally swallowed her saliva and retracted her hand and tore a slice of bread.
